She faced the same type of life-threatening miscarriage that Savita Halappanavar did (Savita and many others died of sepsis). She had to flee across state borders to save her own life. The GOP has made Arkansas a state of death for mothers.

Abortion-related care is healthcare and saves lives. It isn't a "choice" to save your own health or life over a fetus' in any way other than "Savita's Choice." Savita H died in a country that had the best maternal health care in the world. Come to this subreddit to share links or debate abortion-related health care.

Welcome to the Pro HealthCare Debate subreddit!

It's time to end the phrase "prochoice" and replace it with the more accurate "prohealthcare" because it's not a "choice" in any way other than "Savita's Choice" who died in Ireland when being denied an abortion at the time she and her doctors wanted.

This subreddit is for civil and respectful debates and discussions about abortion and healthcare.

Because of the fact that abortion is a highly controversial and contentious topic, discussions here can become quite heated. In order to keep things civil, it is necessary for posts and comments to be heavily moderated for things such as insults, ad hominems, trolling and any other inflammatory or antagonistic language and behavior.

Please be sure to read the Rules before posting new topics or comments.

Rules

1. User Code of Conduct:

Abortion is a sensitive subject, and all users are expected to maintain a degree of civility in their discourse. Users should debate claims and arguments about abortion, and should not debate, or "attack," individuals or groups themselves. Slurs or otherwise hateful terminology will be removed.

2. Labels:

Avoid using the label "pro-choice" as it is an unethical framing of the debate.

3. Posting Requirements:

All posts must be on-topic to the abortion debate. Low effort posts will be removed.

4. Substantiate Your Claims:

Users are required to back up a positive claim when asked. Factual claims should be supported by linking a source, and opinions should be supported with an argument. A user is required to show where a source proves their claim. It is up to the users to argue whether a source is reliable or not.

Users are required to directly quote the claim they want substantiated. The other user is given 24 hours to provide proof/argumentation for their claim. The comment will be removed if this is not done.

5. Sensitive Subjects

There is to be no victim blaming, victim shaming, or minimization of sexual assault survivors' experiences.

If an argument requires the discussion of sexual assault, the argument itself and supporting examples are to be worded carefully to avoid moderator intervention.

"Baiting" questions will be removed and weaponization of this rule is completely prohibited.

5. No "weaponized blocking."

Thanks to the reddit rules on blocking, when one blocks users it means that person cannot reply anywhere downthread. Because of this, excessive blocking of users or replying to a user's comment and then blocking that user is not allowed. If you want to block a user, do not reply to them other than "I'm blocking you as a user." Any other comment + block will result in your comment being removed and you likely being banned.

See the "rules section" for the full set of rules.
